Re: Leonard Has Passed Away
Leonard has been a most profound influence on my life, since age 13. I am 42 now. He is the third most formative influence on me, after my parents. I cannot overstate his importance. Yet -- I know that I do not know the real Leonard. He wears many masks. In his poetry, he reveals himself, yet does n...

Re: CONCERT REPORT - Hamilton, Ontario - April 9, 2013
An excellent show. He seems happier and looks better than when I saw him last.
Everybody sounded great. Good crowd, too.
Thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Copps is a typical arena venue, with all that that implies, but -- always great shows in Hamilton. Very much looking forward to this!

Re: CONCERT REPORT: London ON - December 11, 2012
Excellent show. The standards were rock solid, the ones from the vault inspired, but for me the highlights were the new Old Songs. The band now having lived with them for a while, there was an expansiveness to them beyond the album recordings, which made it clear as air that they are worthy members ...

Re: Music lawyer on Death of a Ladies' Man
Oh, God -- I love this one, every single note. Such a magnificent beast... As much as you never hear the same Leonard song twice, it's especially true here. For all my years of listening, the final tracks never become less inscrutable. If I had to pick two, it'd be DOALM and Recent Songs, the two bo...

Re: CONCERT REPORT: Hamilton, Ontario - May 19
Agreed with the above. I was worried that the show would be a carbon copy of what he had done here before, and what we've all by now memorized from the DVD, but things were just changed enough. Particularly through adding Partisan, but this version of Chelsea Hotel was new to me this time around. An...

Re: "Leonard Cohen Live in London" - DVD & 2CD - April 2009
i finally watched the dvd last night my initial concern was the 4:3 aspect ratio, but the shoddy camera angles and editing were even worse 10 out of 10 for the concert, but the DVD quality is a big disappointment for me :( i'm now wondering if the mooted "best of tour" blu-ray disc will a...

Re: "Leonard Cohen Live in London" - DVD & 2CD - April 2009
I fit in the DVD last night, and am listening to the CD now in fits and starts. So far, I have to say I like the CD better -- the DVD had some editing and camera choices that left a bit to be desired on occasion. The concert overall is fantastic (though not Montreal, if I may gloat a bit), but the D...
